The Right to Buy scheme gives eligible council and housing association tenants the opportunity to purchase their home at a significant discount. While the scheme offers real financial benefit, the legal process involves specific requirements that differ from a standard property purchase.
Our Services Include:
Eligibility & Discount Verification — Reviewing your tenancy history to confirm eligibility and applicable discount entitlement.
RTB Application Support — Guidance through the formal Right to Buy application process with your local authority or housing association.
Mortgage Coordination — Liaising with lenders experienced in Right to Buy mortgage products.
Title & Lease Review — Checking the property's title and, where applicable, lease terms for flats.
Discount Repayment Clauses — Advising on early repayment charges if the property is sold within the discount repayment period.
Completion Management — Handling the legal completion process through to you becoming the registered owner.
Our solicitors have specific experience with Right to Buy transactions, helping tenants navigate the process confidently and avoid common pitfalls.
